When dealing with small children, there are many things that are impossible to explain to them. You can go into all the physics of why it's a bad idea to stick a key in a light socket, but none of that hits home with a 2-yr old until the experiment is tried. Then there is understanding. Why? Because it hurts! Pain is one of those universal languages.
Jesus is a topic that the world at large does not understand. We can go into all the reasons why we need Jesus, but to the lost - it's a message of foolishness. What language can we use to reach the lost who just don't get it? Kingdom. Jesus went about preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. There was much the people did not get, but they understood peace in the storm. They understood food in the desert. They understood healing for the lepers. They understood the dead walked again. Certainly not all liked what they saw, but multitudes sought out the source: Jesus.
When the church comes to a place where, as a body, it is actively and effectively sharing the Kingdom of God, then people will seek the source like the world has never seen. These are the greater things.
